Ed Miliband would need to spend £4,000 each on nose-shaping, a chin implant and a forehead lift.

The 43-year-old - who has previously admitted he looks like Wallace from TV fave Wallace & Gromit - needs to undergo the knife in order to make himself electable, says Britain's leading facial mapping expert.

Having analysed the facial features Brits identify most with success and leadership in the workplace, Dr Chris Solomon and his team applied their findings to leading politicians.

The results made grim reading for Mr Miliband, who was told he needs to splash out £13,869 to achieve the perfect 'hyper-leader' model.

According to Dr Solomon, Mr Miliband would need to spend £4,000 each on nose-shaping, a chin implant and a forehead lift.

He was also told to splash out a further £1,000 on removing dark rings around his eyes, which are associated with unsuccessful people.

But luckily for Mr Miliband, London Mayor and potential future Tory leader Boris Johnson would also need to spend a similar sum (£11,847) to get the perfect leader's face.

Dr Solomon's team released images of how they think our politicians should look based on their research, which was specially commissioned to celebrate the second series of legal drama Suits, starting tonight on Dave at 9pm.

"We all know that first impressions count but this is the first time that a study has actually delved into the facial traits that help us make those decisions," said Dave general manager, Steve North.

"The results are fascinating and make for depressing reading for the likes of Ed Milliband and Boris Johnson who may want to consider a little cosmetic work before their next election campaigns."
